Next check was on the length of things as John had suggested. The longest component is only 110 characters:
./Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/ macpython_ide_tutorial/entering_in_new_window.gif
This is the culprit. In a "classic" tar file, a filename can be only 100 characters. (See Lib/tarfile.py. :-)
If this is the only culprit it is easy to fix.
While you're at it, can you also fix something else that's been
bugging me since I first started using CVS on Windows:
Whenever I do a "cvs update" (-dP implied) I get warnings about the
"Mac/IDE scripts" directory (this is using Cygwin):
$ cd "Mac/IDE scripts"; cvs update
? Hold option to open a script
? Insert file name
? Insert folder name
? Search Python Documentation
? Hack/Remove .pyc files
? Hack/Toolbox Assistant
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: Updating Hack
cvs server: Updating Widget demos
The problem is, Windows doesn't allow multiple periods in file names,
and all these file names should end in "...".
Not using -d is not a reasonable option.
